- Considering your taste in bands and the stories of your childhood, you were basically very restless with painted something more feminine and beautiful things, no?
Mizuki: is why I was a little isolated at school. Around me, the person who lent me the CD was the only guy who liked the Visual-kei, and there were very few people, to play an instrument. Since I was the shy person who used to be, I really could not move and find other members of my own. I knew this and was not very likely to form a band myself, so I thought eventually just practicing guitar and writing songs as well. With a simple pattern and very cheap computers, just add guitar parts to the guitar parts. I could not sing very well either, so the friend of the football club in middle school sang songs for me. He went to a different school and was very good at singing too. And that would be the first song I wrote in my life. Quite handsome, with the melody of the chorus of the song principal, a kind of track soft Visual-kei.
- And you ... do not let anyone hear this, right?
Mizuki: No, we would not. (Laughs) All those who heard him was me, the guy who sang the melodíay other middle school friend, who also played guitar. We never did conformábamos concerts and we only do the songs. However, from there, we made a number of songs. At the end of high school, my school friends half and I went to the studio a couple of times, however, only we were together, because the instruments we played our tastes were very different. I was the only one who liked the Visual-kei, so we are not a band as such. Nevertheless, had decided that after graduation, would not the university but would form a band. Everything in my inner direction changed with the cultural festival that was at that time.
- originally had been?
Mizuki: When I first had just entered high school, I wanted to be a teacher in a school. I liked children, and as I heard the mother of a friend who was a teacher, actually I thought that I would try and do it myself.
- Well ... even thought you were not someone to stand up and speak in front of people?
Mizuki: Well, yes. However I just wanted somehow prove. (Laughter) In addition, since the second grade in high school, classes are divided and entered the education department made the federal humanities course. That was also the reason why finally studied first. However, in the second grade of high school with the third grade of cultural festival, where we introduce ourselves as a band, everything changed.
- While you were shy, decided to stand as a band in front of people?
Mizuki: For supueso, nege me at first. I was asked persistently. Thus, in the festival of culture, there were about 10 bands, but only played "Dragon Ash" or "High Standard" and only finally a band played songs from Dir en Grey. I was not totally unexpected embarrassing, really enjoyed it. Despite all, I had not been someone who could stand up and speak nbo in front of others, it was someone much more impressive, or while standing on the stage it seemed. Even surprised my teacher, who said he was "very aggressive (on stage)." That's when I thought about playing in a band in the futuro.Hasta then had been absolutely impossible for me to stand in front of a hundred people, but with a band, could look ahead and I felt good about it. With that, I stopped studying completely the day after the cultural festival.
- The quiet and contemplative person who could not look at others in the face, he realized how to express being in a bada. However, between becoming a rider or a school teacher and eventually become a gang, not the extent of the change in dreams, a little too wide? (Laughter)
Mizuki: basically have no connection (laughs). Well, with the decision to play in a band, basically my notes fell lower than they might fall. Somehow, in English I'm still the number one.
- Eh? Why is that?
Mizuki: do not know. Somehow, even without studying, I still understand. So, as my points in class is reduced to 0, the classes were divided by the number of points and English I went from last place to first over that. A total of 8 classes of which only two people not go to college after that, and I was one of them. I really fought with my teacher about it.
- after all, is a face that maintains the university and of course we would like to keep the rate of 100% continuity
Mizuki: Yes Repeatedly told me it was as if it were the immediate failure of the representative, if people do not go to college should be. Either way, I insisted that "I want to be in a band", but the reason for not continuing with the school finally came that I had to succeed in business in our home. After all my parents had their own business.
- And that was not exposed as a lie once asked your parents about it?
Mizuki: Well, no, because my parents knew at that moment that I would not go the university and was a good fit of things. Our parents were really kind to us at home. Especially my mom, because she had come from a less fortunate. She always said, "I want my children to do what they want to do" . Was in favor of what their sons did as a standard.
- Your parents have been very nice, no? The teacher understood this?
Mizuki: not completely. They told me to take the exagente even if I fail in the end, and with that, I just took the entrance exam. So I took a blank answer sheet for the seventh or eighth school. I lost a bit rate of the entrance exam with it, even. (Laughter) I was Buddhist University and Ritsumeikan University, more 3 or 4 universities in Kyoto where you choose to take the exam. And with the report, which failed in all of them finally left me a little.
- It's a bit tiring ... well, after you graduated from high school, please explain, how I finally started with your first band activities?
Mizuki: In any case, I knew I could not stay in Shiga and could go to Kyoto or Tokyo. Whatever, I knew I was going to cost money, so I was saving money from the beginning. So when I graduated, looking for a job at a construction site in regióny save up to 100.000 yen. During that time, the friend who had been singing the songs I wrote in high school and I started to think about forming a band together. And so began thinking about working and living in Osaka and I had money saved, we decided to live together.
- In Osaka?
Mizuki: If, Osaka. However, as Shiga were, we knew nothing about show houses in Osaka! Therefore, we started to research journals, and as we read about something in the New Nishikujou Band (house show), we wanted and first of all, we went to audition live for free. They got permission to leave a written schedule in the back saying "bads are sought (new)." Then that friend and I took the songs he had written in the agency and that is how I started my gang activities. Although other members had not even bands in the truth (laughs).

- At that time was only vocalist and guitarist, no?
Mizuki: However, in hearing where we moved, there was always a kind of touch-battery still without a drummer and really seemed to be fine. We think that if we just started and finally find other band members too. We had no any connection in Osaka and we could not find other members, so just make up this unit and finally did our first live show.
- For the very shy Mizuki-san, that had just started its activities, this was a bold step, no? (Laughs) Please tell us about your impressions of that first concert.
Mizuki: Oh well, we were really inexperienced. Of course, our fans were all our friends. However, since it was our first experience, we put much attention to the PA guy for trial and had no idea of the survey forms in a show house or so. In short, we just did (laughs). Unexpectedly, the reactions were quite good. When we were about to go home, there were 5 or 6 people asking when it would be our next show.

- was this unit, a unit of Visual -kei?
Mizuki: Yes, it was visual-kei. As for the screaming songs were rather rare, and the sound was really brilliant (laughs). Finally, after the show in the "Brand New" we were hired and had a guitar player who joined us. However, when we were about to start with three people ... our singer decided to live in Nagoya. Indeed, when he visited Nagoya, liked a bit, apparently. As the vocalist and I had been friends since elementary school, I was very surprised when I finally said, and I could not think of anything ... But in the end all I could say was "I understand."
- forgive him for going to Nagoya, and you were simply a person who put the feelings of others before yours and you could not get in the first place.
Mizuki: Anyway, until then, had been living together and of course the rent was too high to pay only, so I moved with my parents again temporarily. Our other guitarist also uniríaa a different band, so we finally going to write on page web looking for a band member. And after that I had a dubious e-mail.
- Who said?
Mizuki: First, there was a name written on it. Narrow first said "We guitarist. Please contact us "and I answered and the answer was" Please call this number! "
- That is scary! (Laughs) Usually only completely ignore such mails, right?
Mizuki: I thought about that, too. Still, no matter what, I wanted to be in a band. Until then, he had met several people, but anyone who wants to be in a real band. And if it is too suspect without a name written, that mail made me curious. Finally I called ... and there was a person who answered the phone.
- and that person the other end turned out to be, maybe ...
Mizuki: was Mao-san. As usual, speaking too fast to understand (laughs) said: "My name is Mao and used to be the singer of a band called SELFRUSH, but now we are looking for a guitarist. If it is, just learn to know and talk about this, right? "With that we met for the first time in Osaka. I thought it was some sort of trouble and no one was actually good. Lately, I say this too: "Because we are now I can say this, but nobody was really good, right? "(Laughter).
- However, as they wanted to form a band in Osaka, and probably not many people there as well, there was no reason why you finally chosen?
Mizuki: Since Mao wanted to do this with all seriousness, I started looking for a band of Osaka through "Visu Navi", which was a bit standard at that time. When your name was not written there, then it is quite clear that you would take seriously to form a band. And when he had been checking the site for bands of Osaka, would find my name on the top, as it was on my own, decided to contact me. Well, when we met, we talked about what kind of bands had been, what kind of band I'd like to be and how things worked for them, in great detail and with much certainty. Mao-san had been in bands all the time in Osaka and in fact had seen on posters, so I thought the issue was very serious and he could run. However ... I am a person who can not say "OK" (laughs). So without saying "OK", we met a second time and took my own songs. With that thought, that would show my enthusiasm and eventually settled on me
- On important occasions, like you're bad enough to show much your shy side , no?
Mizuki: But it was really scary! At that time, Mao-san had a lot pircings, here and there, after all, I was still a shy person. So when we got back together in that moment, I wondered if there was a yes or no and I was more like "about it, it's just ...." A little uncertain. Furthermore, since there were also the other group members, Aki-san was the next thing I got to know in a meeting. At that time, I told them I brought my own songs and asked them to hear. Thinking about it now, was really a strange kind of meeting, no? (Laughter)
- If you want to call it strange, call it strange, if you want to call it luck, call it luck.
Mizuki: Yes, probably. Until then there was absolutely no connection with the other members. All experienced being in a band, only I had been in a unit, not a band. From the "Race" between these two is totally different, I to start from a totally new learning. After all, I really knew nothing. Besides, had to start a band with a strict hierarchy ... For example all types of greeting to the demásy how we had to deliver each and every one of our posters around Japó , n. Totally knew nothing of these things, and then there were two guitars. Well, Tsuru-chan was an easy person to talk, but all other members of the band already knew and felt that distance course. It was very difficult for me to really grow comfortable with them.
- So apart from the other group members had to face, he also had people from the top of the houses in the show. Being in a band, there are many times when it is absolutely necessary that the communication between members of the band is smooth from the beginning. Considering your character at that time was rather difficult for you?
Mizuki: was really hard for me. For example, before it actually started as a band, I, Mao-san and Aki-san, we saw a show of our band-sempai of the agency "DOREMIdan." And at the end of it, to complete all, was with them, but then neither conocíaa not members of DOREMIdan. In first place was this: "He who sits in the middle is the manager, so maybe you're quite aware of it!" And was really surprised when I said that. Looking back, I understand the rule that had to provide all my own, but at that time I just sat sabíay there and did nothing. At that time, drummer Reika-san told me, wondering what he was doing. After that the other two told me I had been very bad and other things I should not do.
- If you want to call it strange, call it strange, if you want to call it luck, call it luck.
Mizuki: Yes, probably. Until then there was absolutely no connection with the other members. All experienced being in a band, only I had been in a unit, not a band.

- At that time, Mao-san and Aki-san were like professors to you, right?
Mizuki: I was just really scared. Well, my character would do things on my own in any way, but on the other hand, could not do the things I had to do. For example, during the trial or when we had songs, I could not reach the professional vocabulary and thought it was really bad, so I worked very hard to learn a lot.
- Anyway, even though you were scared, so shy and among members of the band had a relationship, finally worked hard to this point, no?
Mizuki: Well ... I finished only to find other members of the band, the singer, who had left me hanging appeared in magazines and such. And while I could not form a band and was rather desperate, kept going. Seeing this was very unfortunate. After all had been my best friend and "soul mate", which made it particularly difficult. When I went to a concert of his, had a number of fans who participated in the event where he sang. Although we talk later, he was looking at me (laughs). This has been very difficult for me so we really wanted to have my own band soon. And as Mao-san told me about his strong vision for the band, I just thought "take that risk!".
- So this devastation became your motivation to start a band, however, this event has brought you here today. Anyway, reflecting on the five years that have passed since their first gig (Sadie), so far, what is the turning point of this?
Mizuki: Uhm ... I'm not sure if it's correct to say this. After training, the first time was just great as such. We quickly mobilized and released our first single "黒衣 の 下 の 欲望 と, 苦悩 の 果て に 視た 白 景 の 百 合 達" all at high speed. And with that disto CD to be sold in a live presentation free, we to "Brand New" ... and did not come with the result we expected. Around that time, personally speaking, I had to break up with my high school sweetheart, and as we were living together, I ended up homeless. With that, I moved with Mao-san and were together for half a year basically. Of course, Mao-san was very concerned with why we could not make the presentation of the One-Man well, and two of us we were not really at that stage tomorrow. Moreover, at that time, there were these words that our sempai told us.
- What words were?
Mizuki: "As they are now, are not real at all. Do not take anything to travésy nobody knows, what really want to achieve. Try and be real only once! " Well, the first who said it was Mao-san, of course. "This is not dream images, you have to convey the true emotions of the moment when you're singing, where you had to write and when you put out there ". For that reason, the second single "溺 哀 - dekiai-" we did after that was completely different as compared with the first single. Of course, none of them did really well and listening to them now makes me wonder how bad it really was, still, the reality, which expressed the sense of urgency, the strength of life was completely different. I think that was the turning point.
~ ~ ~ Continued o_O and I need only the last part is very funny xD Interview: ') or at least I'm dying of laughter while translating XD well, credit to the person who translated it into English: kirino_ageha Thanks (: ~
